<em>Editor's Note: This story was originally published in April 2014.</em><p>Why is this Sandwich Monday different from all other Sandwich Mondays? In honor of Passover, I introduced my non-Jewish colleagues to the wonders of the Passover lunch.<p>It's not the Seder meal, but what I might have brought to school for lunch back in the 1970s, when the affluent Jews of suburban New Jersey ate tasteless food to remind themselves that thousands of years ago, they didn't have nice professional jobs like being a lawyer, or maybe a CPA. That's a steady living.Mon, 30 Mar 2015 15:24:00 +0000Peter Sagal52986 at http://kuow.orgSandwich Monday: The Passover SandwichSandwich Monday: Burger King's YUMBOhttp://kuow.org/post/sandwich-monday-burger-kings-yumbo
Nobody is more excited about Burger King's new Chicken Fries — fried chicken strips shaped and served like french fries — than Burger King. The workers at the Chicago store we visited were all dressed in large, sacklike yellow Chicken Fries T-shirts, and a chicken mascot cavorted on the electronic menu, next to a picture of the item.<p>"Two orders of Chicken Fries!" I said, infected, salmonella-like, with their joy.<p>"We don't have any Chicken Fries," said the server.<p>I pointed mutely at the dancing chicken above her head.<p>"They should show up tomorrow," she said.Mon, 23 Mar 2015 19:06:00 +0000Peter Sagal52584 at http://kuow.orgSandwich Monday: Burger King's YUMBOSandwich Monday: The Thanksgiving Hot Durkeyhttp://kuow.org/post/sandwich-monday-thanksgiving-hot-durkey

I generally don't like cake, because it is too sweet, too bland in texture, and doesn't have enough pork products. So I was excited to see <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/erinlarosa/this-easy-recipe-for-pepperoni-pizza-cake-will-change-your-l?bftw&utm_term=4ldqpg4#166bryd">this recipe</a> pop up on Buzzfeed.Mon, 29 Sep 2014 19:05:00 +0000Peter Sagal42307 at http://kuow.orgSandwich Monday: The Pizza CakeSandwich Monday: The Passover Sandwichhttp://kuow.org/post/sandwich-monday-passover-sandwich

I know David Birnbaum does nicely as an accountant; maybe you could look into that?<p>So what's the sandwich?Mon, 14 Apr 2014 20:19:00 +0000Peter Sagal32519 at http://kuow.orgSandwich Monday: The Passover SandwichSandwich Monday: PB&J Frieshttp://kuow.org/post/sandwich-monday-pbj-fries
Canadians have given us so much, from the BlackBerry, a kind of phone your parents' older friends used to use, to Leslie Hope, the lady who played Kiefer Sutherland's wife in Season 1 of <em>24</em>. But perhaps towering above all is poutine, which translated from the Quebecois is "stuff poured onto french fries." Usually it's some variation of cheese, meat and gravy, but I was told that in Portland, Ore. (naturally), at a food truck (naturally), you can get peanut butter and jelly on fries.Mon, 19 Aug 2013 17:53:00 +0000Peter Sagal18827 at http://kuow.orgSandwich Monday: PB&J FriesSandwich Monday: Fried Peanut Butter And Bananahttp://kuow.org/post/sandwich-monday-fried-peanut-butter-and-banana
It's strange to find a Fried Peanut Butter and Banana sandwich, famous as Elvis Presley's favorite, on a restaurant menu, given its effect on Elvis. It's like finding a store selling an Isadora Duncan commemorative scarf.<p>Nonetheless, freelance radio producer Melissa LaCasse and I decided to try the one offered by <a href="http://thebreslin.com/">The Breslin</a> in New York, listed as "fried peanut butter & banana sandwich with bourbon & vanilla."<p><strong> Melissa:</strong> How many of these do you sell?
